"Chhattisgarh's lithium mining shows initial progress."
Lithium is a crucial mineral mostly utilized in lithium-ion batteries, which are widely employed in consumer electronics and electric vehicles (EVs).
According to the most recent information available with the Union Mines Ministry, exploration of lithium, a crucial mineral used to make lithium-ion batteries, in Chhattisgarh's Korba district has advanced, with one block moving on to the second round of auctions and promising deposits now discovered in the initial exploration of another block.
The encouraging signs from Korba come following a string of setbacks for the Center in its efforts to develop India's first lithium mine, including the cancellation of a lithium block auction in the Reasi district of Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) due to insufficient investor interest, the shelved exploration plans in the Kamjong district of Manipur due to "local resistance," and "not encouraging" results from exploration in Ladakh and Assam.
